Avic D3 Installed
hey, i got 3 questions...
*is it true that if you use the POI, it only searches about within 5 miles of where you are or is the radius adjustable?
*how's the sound quality?
*does the steering wheel control lag when you press it and what is the part number to that accessory?
thanks.

i currently saved enough money for a navi now. at first i was thinking eclipse avn5510 but since that was too expensive (around $1000 and i think they discontinued it and has no update map disc) i decided not to get it. so now i'm thinking of the avic d3 since it's cheap ($600 i found the cheapest) and i got a lot supports from scionlife members.
i'm just still trying to research and read reviews about the d3 to make sure it's suitable for me. only thing now is i gotta buy an ipod, which is a good thing i guess.
so is there an upgrade disc for the d3 (200
?

now if someone could just verify the POI for me. cuz it would suck if i was searching for a gas station and if all it could do was search in a 5 mile radius... there wouldn't be any gas stations for me to go to if it happens to be none in the 5 mile radius.

also i was reading on the crutchfield website and they say:
"Disc Compatibility: The AVIC-D3 is compatible with specific DVD-ROM navigation map discs only and cannot play standard DVD-ROM discs."
so from what i'm reading... they say you cannot play a regular dvd (like the one you buy/rent at a store) or am i reading this wrong? or do you have to convert the movie into a specific format?
thanks.
